I didn’t assume how the bat got into the house, but I knew it had to go… The apparent conclusion was that it had somehow gotten into the ductwork & come out in our dining room.
The bat was on the wall right about the air vent.
I called our brother & asked him if he could get the bat out of our house, however he laughed while asking why I was afraid of a little bat. The last time I tried to get a bat out of our house, I destroyed our sweeper. The awful thing was trapped in the sweeper hose, where he died. I threw the sweeper away & refused to ever use another vacuum cleaner again, but my fear was that if that bat got into the house, there could be an entire bat colony waiting to come in while in the night. Maybe this bat was the lookout, searching out a new arena to sleep. I had all kinds of different thoughts going through our mind, when the HVAC worker arrived, he looked through the home to check the ductwork. When he got to the attic, he came out & told myself and others I had to call an exterminator. The walls were crawling with bats, & they carried a lot of diseases. There were holes in the ductwork, & a bat could fit in a hole that was the size of dime. He suggested that once the exterminator came in, I should have the ductwork repaired, cleaned & sanitized. I should also have our attic cleaned & sanitized by a group of professional cleaners the exterminators could point myself and others to.
